I think you managed to come up with a simple concept and execute it very well. I liked how you explained the controls in a visual style. Great entry ;)

Simple yet effective, like the use of both themes.

Pro:
+ Cool and simple concept (really liked the planetary stability management)
+ Nice assets
Con:
- A bit confusing with the game rules
- A bit too simple with the gameplay... Could expend to more planets maybe? Then controls would have to be different, but oh well
- Physically confusing (at least for me)

Great job!

Ma cago en la leche, no entendía nada de lo que estaba pasando xD al final he visto que salía otro planeta y he pillado el rollo pero... el juego parece incontrolable, en plan, no puedes tomar decisiones ni adoptar estrategias interesantes porque estás simplemente a la deriva a merced de como se generen los asteroides y poco puedes hacer tú por mejorar la situación salvo afectar levemente a las trayectorias. Ese creo que sería el punto más crítico para que la experiencia de juego fuera mucho más agradable.

De todas formas enhorabuena por acabar vuestra primera jam! Espero que sea la primera de muchas, no paréis de hacer juegos!

This is a cool idea and I really like the music. I did find it sort of confusing and hard to control, but I think I could get the hang of it with a little practice.

Muy divertido para una primera version. Cuesta entender que cuando deja de salir la tecla todavía los botones hacen efecto (porque el efecto no es muy grande). Añadiendo mas elementos como asteroides perjudiciales podría ser muy interesante.

I liked it. But it is too short. Just got used to controls and 5 seconds later i won the game.

Graphics are cute but the game is hard to understand. It took me some time to understand the controls. And the beginning feels a bit long. The music is also cool

Pretty simplistic game, in the beginning I was hitting X key all the time for the second planet untill I realized I should be hitting M instead o.o
Nice concept however :)

Nice game. I liked this style, but I think it's too short.

The gameplay is a bit confusing. The art and music are both good. I tried it a few times but couldn't get past the 2nd planet since it kept crashing into one another or flying off.

It's a really innovative idea! I just wish you had a little bit more control over the planets, sometimes it's hard to tell if you're actually doing anything.
